An all time classic World Series. It’s a shame someone had to lose.

Absolutely, Cheri.

A daily Dem press briefing on Capitol Hill led by someone as sharp and media savvy as Pete would put the party’s voice front and center, hold the administration accountable in real time, and force the media to cover issues the public actually needs to hear about.πŸ‘‡

He has the worst numbers ever, but not one reporter has the balls to say, "um, have you ever heard of the 22nd Amendment? You know, the one in the Constitution you took an oath to defend?" Corporate media has sold out.

ICE is out of control and beyond repair This agency needs to be stripped down to the studs. Dems should start preparing now.

ICE is a profit driver for the private prisons, and large corporations like Amazon, AT&T, Google, Microsoft, and FedEx who spend millions paying off politicians to get ICE contracts.

We can’t abolish ICE until we end corporate and dark money in politics.

This should have been on Sunday's front page. But there wasn't even a story in the print edition on Monday. Eight million American don't deserve recognition? Maybe you should run another sharply worded analysis of Joe Biden's cognitive decline; that seems to be this paper's forte.

Where was your story on the protests in the print edition? Answer: there was nothing. This was by far the biggest story of the weekend, and your "paper of record" didn't even bother to report it. Are you folks paying attention at all?

These people are, not to put too fine a point on it, nuts.

Every sentence is a lie. But the scariest one is the first one. He does think he's a king.

If they claim they haven't heard the quote, play it for them and ask for a response.

If they claim it's being taken out of context, play a longer version and ask for a response.

If they try to sidestep the issue, play it over again and ask for a response.

I continue to feel that our national experiment of making the dumbest MF in the country president was ill advised.

I don’t know whether I should laugh or cry, but this really pisses me off.

A "compromise": i.e., you can have your job back only if you don't criticize any MAGA creep and don't mention the Chump soiling the White House.

The Washington Post Fired Me β€” But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America β€” and it cost me my job.

Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

Thread incoming.
